DESCRIPTION

Create a descendant of ThreadEx to represent an execution thread in a multi-threaded application. Each new instance of a TThread descendant is a new thread of execution. Multiple instances of a TThread derived class make an application multi-threaded.

Following are issues and recommendations to be aware of when using threads:

• Keeping track of too many threads consumes CPU time
• When multiple threads update the same resources, they must be synchronized to avoid conflicts.
• Most methods that access an object and update a form must only be called from within the main thread or use a synchronization object.

Define the thread object's Execute method by inserting the code that should execute when the thread is executed.
